Description

The blood-colored woodpecker is a distinctively-coloured small woodpecker with a length of 13 to 14 cm (5.1 to 5.5 in). The mantle, back and rump are crimson with some olive shading, and the upper sides of the wings are red apart from the main flight feathers which are brown. The face, sides of the neck, ear-coverts and throat are brown and the underparts and underwings are brown or grey, finely barred with white or buff. The tail is chocolate-brown. The male has a crimson crown and nape, streaked with brown, while the female has a brown or grey crown. The iris is chestnut, the beak pale grey and the legs grey. The juvenile resembles the adult but is rather browner.

General Info

Distribution Area

The blood-colored woodpecker is endemic to the lowland coastal forests of northern South America. Its range includes Guyana and Surinam, and possibly French Guiana; its status in the latter is unclear as it hybridises with the little woodpecker (Veniliornis passerinus) where their ranges overlap. It is typically found in swampy and riverine forests, coastal mangrove forests, wooded savannah, cacao and coffee plantations, parks and occasionally gardens.
